Daniel 12

Revised Geneva Translation

12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince, who stands for the children of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there began to be a nation until that same time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered; everyone who shall be found written in the book.

² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake; some to everlasting life, and some to shame and perpetual contempt.

³ And those who are wise, shall shine; as the brightness of the sky. And those who turn many to righteousness, shall shine as the stars, forever and ever.

⁴ But you, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, till the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro. And knowledge shall be increased.

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked. And behold, there stood two others: one on this side of the riverbank, and the other on the other side of the riverbank.

⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, “When shall the end of these wonders come?”

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, two times, and half a time. And when he shall have shattered the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

⁸ Though I heard it, I did not understand. Then I said, “O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

⁹ And he said, “Go your way, Daniel. For the words are closed up, and sealed, till the end of the time.

¹⁰ “Many shall be purified, made white, and tried. But the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall have understanding. But the wise shall understand.

¹¹ “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abominable desolation set up, there shall be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

¹² “Blessed is he who and comes and awaits the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.

¹³ But go your way, till the end. For you shall rest, and arise for your portion, at the end of days.”
